When The Going Gets Tough
Sometimes life is hard and we wonder if we can really go on. Can we keep putting one foot in front of the other? I’m thankful the Bible isn’t only full of stories about the good times, because sometimes life doesn’t feel all that good and I need encouragement, hope, direction, and survival tips. James addresses the hard times in this week’s message.
